He: But now it’s personal. It started with the Sessions stuff. Jeff was as loyal as they come. Trump’s crapping on him was like kicking your puppy. And then, you know, him beating up on Mitch for the Obamacare fiasco. And going after Flake and the others.

Me: So they're pissed off?

He: Not just that. I mean, they have thick hides. The personal stuff got them to notice all the other things. The wild stuff, like those threats to North Korea. Tillerson would leave tomorrow if he wasn’t so worried Trump would go nuclear, literally.

Me: You think Trump is really thinking nuclear war?

He: Who knows what’s in his head? But I can tell you this. He’s not listening to anyone. Not a soul. He’s got the nuclear codes and, well, it scares the hell out of me. It’s starting to scare all of them. That’s really why Bob spoke up.

Me: So what could they do? I mean, even if the whole Republican leadership was willing to say publicly he’s unfit to serve, what then?

He: Bingo! The emperor has no clothes. It’s a signal to everyone they can bail. Have to bail to save their skins. I mean, Trump could be the end of the whole goddam Republican party.

Me: If he starts a nuclear war, that could be the end of everything.

He: Yeah, right. So when they start bailing on him, the stage is set.

Me: For what?

He: Impeachment. 25th amendment.

Me: You think Republicans would go that far?

He: Not yet. Here’s the thing. They really want to get this tax bill through. That’s all they have going for them. They don’t want to face voters in ’18 or ’20 without something to show for it. They’re just praying Trump doesn’t do something really, really stupid before the tax bill.

Me: Like a nuclear war?

He: Look, all I can tell you is many of the people I talk with are getting freaked out. It’s not as if there’s any careful strategizing going on. Not like, well, do we balance the tax bill against nuclear war? No, no. They’re worried as hell. They’re also worried about Trump crazies, all the ignoramuses he’s stirred up. I mean, Roy Moore? How many more of them do you need to destroy the party?

Me: So what’s gonna happen?

He: You got me. I’m just glad I’m not there anymore. Trump’s not just a moron. He’s a despicable human being. And he’s getting crazier. Paranoid. Unhinged. Everyone knows it. I mean, we’re in shit up to our eyeballs with this guy.

That's pathetic.The repugs are worried about "getting SOMETHING thru"? That's the only reason they do not act? To save their fucking hides for the next election? OMG losers! Go out into the world and get real jobs. You do not belong in government. Don't you realize THIS is the moment that can define your lives? Do the right thing. Are you really willing to risk nuclear war and end of life as we know it so you can "get something done?"

Ask yourself 5:48 why do you feel that helpless? Just call your State's politicians and voice your control. Although I do feel helpless myself. Because Pence would be in if Trump is out and I have a sneaky suspicion that he would be worst. Like Putin. You know, the quite guy who does unbelievable shit behind his fellow man's back and no one can prove it.

Trump rips the NFL for disrespecting the flag. Then he jokes about a military flag ceremony.

The bugle call occurred during Trump's interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, conducted in an airplane hangar used by the Pennsylvania Air National Guard in Harrisburg.

After he had repeatedly railed against professional athletes over perceived slights to the American flag and military, President Trump joked on Wednesday about a bugle call that is part of the armed forces’ time-honored tradition of showing respect for the Stars and Stripes.

Of course it's true. The majority of Congressional Republicans are spineless, craven losers who are the product of a system of gerrymandering and are owned by big money donors. They have no interest in what's good for the country and will do anything to get re-elected. They will never stand up to Trump, even after they get the tax cut that their Koch masters demand.

You're damn right it's terrifying. I wake up to it every freaking day here.

my doctor put on medication because i can't sleep or eat. this is the only world we have. is there no way to stop him? i realize the threats are nonsense, but what if he really loses it one day? i hope he has the wrong codes. i hope smarter and cooler heads will win.

After it will be safe to come out of the nuclear bunker in 2 hundred years, the new Trumps born while in the presidential nuclear bunker from incestuous activities will each have 3 eyes, 4 arms and no legs.

Its like the current entire republican party has a bad case of mental illness. Seriously? For several years we have witnessed outrageous behavior, lies, events and scandals. The "R" communist party stole the party from the good old boys.

Odd that the Independent party of voters, the largest, have no leader and remain in limbo, mixed and confused. It too has been bamboozled.

Dissolve green, lib, independent party and the r communist and see where we stand as a nation. All the division is not helping. We have basic beliefs in America. Too many agendas is not working and not United We Stand. Overturn Citizen United. NO corporation money or vote.

Absolutely we must immediately force the issue, What party do you stand with? What and Whom do you believe?

Kyle Griffin's flock of seagulls haircut and porn stache just scream 'legit journalist' lolol. You can take his information from his (un-named 'former repub member of congress') source to the bank! lol.

Reading comprehension would appear to not be your thing Gryph... Flock of Seagulls says his information comes from Robert Reich (duh,as clearly stated)... who claims to have spoken with.... wait for it... an UNNAMED/UNIDENTIFIED 'former repub member of congress'.

They’re counting on *that* tax plan to be the something, anything? The one that benefits the top 1% and corporations and screws everyone else? *THAT* plan?

Do they think people are that stupid?

Do they really think they’ll have a better chance passing that than that atrocious ACA appeal?

They’re going to need 51 in the Senate. Even with Pence they won’t get it. There will be more fiscally conservative Republicans that will NOT vote for that tax bill than didn’t vote for the various incarnations of the Death Bill.

If they want to get something done, the thing they should do should be to get rid of Trump. That is the only way they’ll save their own party and possibly 2018 *IF* they do it fast enough.

Trump is a disaster and the sooner they admit it and fix it, the sooner they’ll save face and start gaining.

So in the after nuclear world, the tax plan is going to be for the top one percent that are hiding out in their bunkers underground? And after all the nuclear radiation dies down, their descendants all emerge to Eden? Is that the thinking? How delusional.

Who will be around to mow their lawns and do their laundry? They'll find out real fast that their little paper pictures won't buy them squat and that they have no skills whatsoever that will get them food or shelter.

Maya Angelou said "when someone shows you who they are,believe them the first time."Donald Trump told you who he was the entire time he campaigned, but people kept making excuses, and saying he'll change. Where have we heard that before?

how could you not miss seeing it when he called Hillary nasty and followed her around the stage? it scared me. but if had tried to abuse her it would have ended his chances. you can't buy your way out of something that dumb. die repubs not see debate? you can bet there was a lot of temper tantrums that night.
